I'm doing a small seminar with about 50 home sellers in ten days and was wandering if anyone had a slide show presentation I could use mostly about prelisting inspections.

Thanks

Hi all,

I'm a newbie inspector and non too happy with the training I got, so I'm trying to fill in with all the nice Nachi online courses. Here is one I'm still not sure on.

How do tell whether a system is a heat pump or a regular split system with condenser outside and furnace/air handler inside. Some heat pumps are clearly labeled as such and some aren't. One way to know is if the thermostat has an emergency heating mode then it's clearly a heat pump.

Other than that I've gotten mixed information. Thanks in advance for your
comments.

Tom:)

Fire ratings for commercial building involve a mirad of different wall and ceiling rated assemblies.
This link by USG provides you with that information and will be able to recognize the assembly at times in your Commercial Inspections.

Learn to recognize the assembly at times by the thickness of the walls at doorways and other openings. Knowing the wall material framing widths normally used for your area will be a good clue as to what was used for a firerated material surface.
